The Empress took no rest whatever on the Saturday night, though! she sought.no counsel with any of her | Ministers. On the Sunday the fatal ne, s communicated to the Chamber over night was published throughout Paris, and long before hoon tho Place de la Concorde was filled with a croajd whoso furious shouts could- bo distinctly heard.lo 'the place in ?Whiob, the un? fortunate lady sat almost alona' It is difficult to find, .words of reprobation adequate to the infam?os conduct of the personal attendants of the Regent. For the most part they did not await even tho dawning of the day ot trial for the Eturneas they were hound ?to servo und; the woman they had professed to ven* eruto and to love. The "gentleman" who had .-taken - thc- Empress' ring to Count Paliako did not ret urn and though his fellows had tho grace tp- wait until they w?Ve di?rtissea*' for Wc nightj 'not. one was found in attendance in' ito morning, and with ? the exception?? ol Madame Lo liccton-tho wild of the General of that name-'-and two other bdieft.whose t?nmesI bhyenot/been abie io ascertain, thu Empresa wa? ?bmudoii ed by all io this most trying Hoiir. Tb?; unhappy lady, from the testimony of Madame Le Breton, seems to have fal lon into a kind of stupor from which both the shouts of the mob, growing more and more threatening every in? stant, and the prayers and. entreaties of tho ladies in attendance were, powerless to arouse her. At. this most critical juncture M. de.

"1 have como," said M. de Lesseps, "not to risk your Majesty's safety by ar?'appeal to men who 'cannot -provide for their own, but to ask you to confide1 in me." ' But tho Assembly ?" said ono of the ladies who seemed to share the Empress' delusion. '?The Assembly, Madame,'' replied M. de Lesseps, not without a touch of that irony which never quite abandons ? ? Frenchman in even the most trying, circumstances, "ts at this moment the na'ion.

M. do Lesseps walked out of the apart? ments with a hasty step,,, followed by the Em pi ess and tho three ladies, and traversed the large hall in which the ceremony of opening the Legislature has 'hitherto been performed, he made his way to tho famous long gallory of the Louvre, which runs parallel with the river side of tho building, and turned the handle of a door at the further end (communicating withe a staircase, und the street,)' only to find it looked {?}'' It was a fearfully anxious moment. Thc very custodians of the Louvre, had deserted their post, and there was no messenger within hail. Tho shouts grew louder and louder as the crowd, ap? proached the paiace. It seemed mad " ness to attempt to return. Tho Empress still maintained an at titude of passive courage I ara told that she did not betray the slightest sign of agitation until sho pointed, with a hasty gesture,, at one of tho ^fopng lad ic-, who, from .the deadly paleness that overspread her features, seemed to he about to faint, though happily the fugitives we're spired this, threatened cm barnum rn cat; . < S? ?'^?fd? a t?ft?econds, which ni?fct? have seemed an eternity .to tho. unhappy la flies, M do Lesseps remained perfectly still and silent, as debating within bim self what course to adopt.

' Tho Empress reaohed the house tn the Boulevard Malesherbes in safety and Without attracting any further attention. In the everting; still1 within ' the safe shelter of ? haok?ey coach, she waa con? ducted to the Northwestern . station in the.r/laoe du Havre, and early the next day ehe wau at the pretty, and, thanks to the laten sss of the season, the al? mos', deserted, bathing plaoe of Dean ville, oo the Northern coast, where she rcniained incognito in the shelter of a second rate hotel, while M. do Lesseps went out to make the necessary arrange meats for her embarkation. Meanwhile the Empress was a- prey to the keenest anxiety about the Prince Imperial, who had left the country some lew day* before. His destination was koown, but whether he had roaohed that destination was as yet a secret. In point of fact, on the Monday evening, while . M.. de . Lesseps was engaged in the scorch for a vessel at Deauville, the Prince was alighting from an omnibus at the door.of tho. Hotel de la Couronne at Mons, whence the gentlemen who accompanied him at once communicated by a telegraph, through tho intermedi? ary of a trusted iriend at Paris, with M. Lesseps and tho Empress. The result was that the son was directed to pro? ceed at once to Hastings, whero he ar? rived via Ostend and Dover on tho following Tuesday, Owing to some misunderstanding, however, in the arrangements, the Empress had no communication with her son after Mon? day evening until, the moment of her subsequent meeting with him in Eng? land. * Thia uncertainty as to his movements contributed greatly_ to her anxiety to accelerate her departure, but notwith standing the many pressing reasons for speed, there were others equally press ing for delay. The main difficulty was to find a ship, the brew of which might safely be trusted^o preservo the secret of the imperial incognita, for it Whs almost hopeless to expect that the faot of. there being such a secret oould be effectually preserved from all on board. Fatigued with a search which threa? tened to become altogether hopeless^, M. de Lesseps, on the evening of Mon? day, entered ra small local yachting dub at Deauville to look-over the papers be? fore presenting himself at the hole! where the imperial fugitive was hiding when ho was greeted by a gentleman whom he at once' recognized. It was Sir John Montagu Burgoyne, a young Crimean hero, who had enjoyed the friendship of M de Lesseps for many years. Sir John at once, according to his own statement, divioed that something uusual was in the wind from the pre senco of M- do Lesseps at such a season in such a plnoe. His own presence was accounted for by the fact that ho Was awaiting the arrival of Lady Burgoyne from Switzerland, and his yacht aa ha .explained to M.' do Lesseps was under orders to sail on tho Wednesday for 'England. . . ' M."4e Lesseps knew, hinman and knew tba* rW?kncss was the"Burest way ,tp ca'in the object'whioh pr?scpt?d itself .with lightning quick ness to his mind. Sir John h,ad barely finished informing .him pf theseMpartieul?rs when, laying his hand upon .'the Englishman s arm, the great engineer said t ? Sir John, will you do me the very gr??tes^ service I ct er demanded of any human being?" "Natno it," said the gallant soldier. "Will you fiqd^e;Ihrae i p^oe*; on your yacht for the passage to England on. Wednesday ?" ..... "Is that all ?" ?aid sir John., laugh? ing ; "the place* will be ready for you/' There waa again a momentary - pause, during which M. de Lesseps fixedly re carded the young man. ? f?Do you know ?V U asked rapidly, as ff ashamed of the doubts whioh had prompted his achfntiny--^,ldo you' know whom you wii? carry with you aa roy oo m pantoo1 de voyage ?" Sir John smiled and shook hts head. "Her Impera! Majesty the. Empress of the French," said M. de Lesseps, quietly. ?A ?over inbiae?t had ?early fMopr?. his iotoaji? to^ip? t^oilogHeb ladies 60- board lot ; ?h? e vajeg?,. JWQN. Mad??? Le Breton had ecaroely reach od thVdeok wheo- tba mao,v teaching fc'S.eap, asked hex some question tala tire to th? accommodation in.herrath? er rapidly extemporised berth, to which eba was, of* conree, utterly unable to reply. The Empress, however, who speak? Knglish perfecter, came to her relief ebd, by Madame Le Brotoa'a wiah apologi zed ; te the .amo for th e ignorance of ber "Frenoh waiting'maid." Early in the morning the French pi lot came on board, and while the fugi? tives were still sleeping below, whit the exception of iM. do Lesseps, who . M? mained on deck during the whole of the voyage, the English j acht Gazelle of sixty tons barden, bearing the Empress of France and her fortunes, sailed oat of the harbor of Desoville and made straight for Ryde. . This short sleep was, I am assured, the only one which the Empresa had enjoyed since the' preceding ' Friday night. She had foand . lt impossible to otose her eyes while she remained on the soil of France, end her sleep, ac? cording to Madame Le Breton's account was fitful and disturbed while ehe re? mained on the yacht. Early on Thursday morning the lit* tie vessel out into Ryde, and the Em? press, taking a most affectionate leave of her generous hosts, made her way to the York Hotel where she partook of breakfast. She then Crossed by the ordinary steamer to.Portsmouth, where shs immediately took train for Hastings arriving there at about 9 on Thursday night. She did not at once' proceed to tho hotel at which the Prim e hod been directed to put up, but, by direction of M. de Lesseps, she remained at the waiting room of tho station while the gentlemen wont out to reconnotire. M. de Lesseps, on reaching the hotel, cau? tiously m ado his inquiries, announced himself as soon as he ascertained that the Prince was there in safety, and af? ter a hasty Interview was leaving tho house to return to tba railway elation, when a veiled figure rushed past him on the stairs. It was the Empress. Her maternal anxiety had been too great, to allow of her remaining quietly for M. do Lesseps' return. She had followed him through thc streets to the hotel with the inten? tion of remaining at thodoor ; but hear? ing the voice of the Prince Imperial, who had advanced to the head of the stairs with M. de Lesseps, she had been unable longer to control her feelings, and before her astonished guide could restrain her either by voice or gesture, mother and son were locked in a olose and almost convulsive embrace. The scene was more than touching-it waa awful in its intensity of sorrow. It was witnessed not only by the high person? ages whose names have been already mentioned, but by the proprietor of the, Marine Hotel and by a female servant who waa descending the stairs with a tray and was for a few moments unable to pass the group on the landing. What a sitaation-? landlord end a kitchen maid blubbering responsive tears to the sobs of an Empress clasping to her bos? om a ch i H who.was but lately called the hope ot Franco 1 ' Both mother and child looked fear? fully worn-and ill, the child especially bearing evident traces of the effect? bf nervous excitement. His eyes, natural ly large, appeared unusually so, and they attracted the particular attention of the Empress, who was observed to Eush baok the hair from the boy's forc? ead, and after looking at him long and earnestly to close each eyelid with a kiss. The landlord himself, a man who has traveled and who understands French indifferently well, says he shall never forget the depth and tenderness with which tho Empress, while sho held her son, exclaimed, "Mon pauvre Louis ! Moo pauvre Lons, maintenant je n'ai, que toi." '? ?And papa," said the child, ?nd be? fore he could continue the doors of the drawing room were closed upon mother and son. I am writing from special informa? tion when I say that the scene within the apartment continued for pome time to be of the tame tender end affecting character, though in time the principal parties in it he?omo lesa deeply affected and their conversation assumed a moro oheerful tone. The child's horror pf the scenes', he h?d passed through on the battle-field was, however, most de? cidedly manifested and he. showed an acuteness of distress that seemed the premonitory symtoms of convulsions, when tho Enrpresa proposed (half he should at once return to Gorman y with herself to share the captivity of his fatber. '.Not.to .bebattles" rhamroe, he exclaimed moro than ono?, and the Empress in vain endeavored to reassure him by stating that his father wes now quite beyond tho sounds and the sights', which bad inspired bis yonthful'iroag^ nation witVso much, (error.

W,,: [From the Cuicngo Times.] A LAND LOCOMOTIVE. ANOTHER EXTRAORDINARY MA CHINE IN CHICAGO. From time to time the Times has urged upon the inventors the necessity of prodveing, for the level plains of the Northwest, a land locomotive, or traotion engine. Whether or not the reiterated demands of the Times had anything.'to do with it, we do.not know { but on Fri. day, a machine bf the preciso character which we have so often deolared to be a ueeessity made its appearanoe on our street?. The inventor nod builder is Mr. Lake, a gentleman well known to Chicago from his original connection with the Westside railway ; and, later, as the contractor and builder of the Washington street tunnel. The vehicle which made its way along the streets of the Westside on Friday and Saturday ia unlike any traotion engine ever before built. It is a locomotive vehicle, a portable engine, and a fho-stenmar, all in one. This combination is entirely novel, but this ?soot all that is new about it. Mr. Lake has discovered tod used a princi? ple in the application of power that has never before been employed- This principle is one which admits of the produetion of extraordinary power al? most directly to. the driving-wheel.. In an ordinary locomotivo, tho steam from, the cylinder acts upon the piston and is communicated direotly . to the crank of the driving wheels. In Mr. Lake's machino, when desirable, the motion oan first be communicated to balance wheels. When these wheels have reached a very high rate of speed, tho power can be communicated by a "clutch" to tho driving wheels. The communication eau bo made gradually or rapidly as may bo thought desirable. Any one can seo the benefit of this style of communication. Suppose the vehiole io a plaoe where it requires ex? tra force to start it. By applying the power at once, no movement is effected ; but by storing it up in the balance* wheels, and then communicating it to the drivers, one gets almost precisely the same benefit that he would by get? ting, say, ? heavy wagon under rapid motion just bofore running it up au incline. If a man has to pass over a depression in the road, with a heavily loaded truck, it is easily seen that if he is under rapid headway, he will pass through it with less difficulty than he would if he should attempt to pull his load out of the hollow where his wagoo hud been standing. A person about ta leap over pome obstacle aids his final jump by a short run. .The locomotive engineer about to asoend a difficult grade rushes at it after having accumulated a surplus force in s high motion. It is preoisely this well known princi? ple in mechanics wbioh Mr. Lake has employed in his engine. He has another novelty. The machino has two sets of driving wheels, one pf which ts considerably smaller thar* the other. By a simple use of tho sotow, either set can be raised, leaving the other on the ground. Tho Dower oan bo applied at will to eithor.. The object of these two seta is, of course, to obtain either greater power or speed, ns mSy be desired: Id hauling heavy loads, the small wheels will be used, and in ex? cursions, where there is no great weight to be hauled, rapidity is secured hy tho employment of tho largo driyers. A pump and air chamber furnish an apparatus for throwing. tTotcr?. while a hand whoo! allows tho transfer of pow? er to a threshing machine, or.any other article bf the Hud. The ?rtgtno ls a very handsome one It weighs about three tons, and moves without difficulty, sud.guides AS easily as a well trained horse. The construction ol this machine will open up, wo believe, a new an?! irapor'ant ora in locomotion. A heavy machino, like the One just roforrod to, will haul heavy, loads, act- ?? a. fire steamer, and do duty tts ? portable'1 en? gine. Smaller ones.can, bo constructed j whose weight will not exoeed. .half ton, whioh oan be used for passenger travel, or the lighter business connect ed with (he transfer of goods in a largo city.
