EBXDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 28, 1866. A PERU.OTJS ADVEST?KE. The following big story we find in the Lockport j (N. Y.) Journal and Courier. "Wondrous strango, if true ; and not a bad story, even, if only tho in- | vention of ono of tho New York Bohemians : Several years ago a littlo German Jew named Schwartz, believing that in the sewers of New York might bo found many articles of value which had been lost, entered them, and for three days wan? dered through tho labyrinth. Ho was very success? ful, picking up some twenty-seven thousand dol? lars worth of jewelry, spoons, forks, etc.; but having lost his way the first day, he believed that he -might have found much more could he have carried out his original plan, which was to visit Fifth and Madison avenues, Broadway, and the wealthy portion of tho city. So great, howover, were tiic difficulties and dangers which lie en? countered, that nothing could induce him to again visit "New York underground." His adventure for a time created quite a little sensation, hut there were nono venturous enough to. attempt a second until Wednesday of last week, when an adventurous party of three entered the I gewer of Houston street, at the ferry on East iver, intending to remain for one week, during _ hich time they proposed visiting every portion \of the city where there seemed to be any chance l|Of finding treasure trove. Tho party consisted of Miss Mary Walker, a young lady of eighteen, her brother James, aged sixteen, and Michael Grady, an old man of about fify. Thc project originated with Miss Walker, and thc "how" of it is in this wise: Some two years ago James Walker. Jr., was a merchant domg a good business at 99? Bowery. He was getting rich fast, hut in an evil hour was prevailed upon by friends (?) to use some of his money which bad i been "salted down" in speculating in gold. The result was easy to he foreseen, lie lost. To re? cover ha took inoeey from his business. Again he lost. His business became embarrassed; in de? spair he committed suicide, and Miss Walker and her brother found themselves sis months ago the inhabitants of a room on the upper floor of the double tenement 209 Sixth street. Miss Walker, some months ago, in an old pai:er wrapped around a parcel which she was taking home from a "slop \ ihop," saw an account of Schwartz's undertaking, ind resolved to imitate it. Maps were obtained and the city studied care tolly. Each day's work for herself, her brother and Grady, who was formerly in her father's em? ploy,, was carefully marked out. Every prepara? tion which limited knowledge could prepare for kjras made, and the adventurers started. H?| wish that I might have room to tell the story HxTihe week they passed, but my manuscript warns Hue that I must condense. Each day they rendez? voused several times in the chambers at the street i I jorners. On Sunday they had filled all the bags (hey had taken with them, some fifteen in number, j tnd Miss Walker returned. James Walker and t Ixrady continued their search, emptying six of the I jags at the corner of Twenty-Third street and ? Fifth Avenue. On Wednesday morning at a very j larly hour, and before many people were stirring, j Ifiss Walker was at the place with a wagon. On j I jemoving the iron plate which at each street cor i \ ker loads into a. small chamber connecting with ? {he sewer, she found her brother hut not Grady. L Ie had started off on another trip, although the k- Jix bags had been filled over in Madison Avenue. jThe loose treasure was placed in extra bags andi 'he whole driven to a Broadway jewelers. The rest ref e taker* from their places on Thursday morn? ing. A watch was set for Grady, but up to the tune of writing nothing has been heard from him, and it is feared he has perished. The result of the week's search is roughly esti lated at one million and a half dollars. I saw the 'treasure yesterday piled in three heaps on the floor, jnd the jeweller informed me that it must have Cost over three million dollars, but in consequence Ktf the old fashioned style of setting, its bruised, I'i&ttered and corroded condition, thar its value was luced about one-half. A little over one bushel (how leer it sounds to talk of jewelry by the bushel) been sorted, and among it has been found one aond ring valued at sixteen thousand dollars, more valued at five thousand, and a haifa doz- j 'valed at five hundred and upwards. The most rious is a plain gold ring inscribed on the inside Dutch, "Peter Stuyvesant to his wife." It is an keir loom of the Stuyvesants, and was stolen with her jewelry last March by burglars. How it came ' i the sewer is a problem for philosophers to specu- 1 Itte about. IjMiss Walker and her brother, who find them \lves thus suddenly lifted from penury to great cealth, intend to proceed to England where they ? hve relatives. This adventure is talked of every? where, and already there are others preparing to 'low in their footsteps. The Erfepress Carlotta. [From, thc Atlanta (Ga.) Intelligencer.] Very few persons who have traced the Empress j larlotta, from the day she sailed on the ill-starred j Mexican expedition to that saddest uay of her life fhen she sat, Ophelia-like, at the Vatican gates, "scrowned, disheveled, insane-very few persons, say, will read without pain that her case is j>eless, and her young life passed into shadow, ?ere is not a more mournful page in all imperial 3tory, and noni' so full of suggestion. Her story i the same pathos as that of Zenooia, for every ad fairy hal clustered about the cradle, save as, and that absentee the most powerful, the most [itiless of all. ie was the daughter of a king; her beauty was rerbial; the best of the Hapsburgs-so amiable [prince that even haughty Venetians who scorned oe kaiser doffed their bonnets to the admiral of | fleet-wooed and- won her. Her wraith was ?ense, and she lived m a palace famous for its veliness, and still more famous for the loveliness,. ?e virtue and the genius it enshrined; she was a et, too; and Miramax was her Arcadia. Had she fen born among the lowly, her mental gifts would ! ve brought her the reputation that comes from lg, andi alas ! that which is forever denied her, Ipassage from earth with an undimmed mind. Kth such surroundings as we have grouped above, ho would not have envied so splendid a princess, nd not promised her a pathway among mankind dietii-ct and brilliant as the pathway of the ra? j But, for some inscrutable purpose, this has been kfased, and the accomplished princess wears har (rown no mo e, the virtuous wife can never reoog ze her mate, the sweet song of the royal poet has led to hollow moan. It is well, when such a sacrifice has been made, o trace its origin, and, thus searching, how will fee Emperor Napoleon escape conviction ? His ling ambition to unite the Latin races and be airhead, found, as he supposed, an appropriate id in Mezico for the first experiment. Maximi in and Carlotta became his agents, and ore now ibe numbered among his victims. The failure of i South to maintain her independence caused _is gorgeous scheme to perish, and, thwarted at pe and abroad, some hostages were demanded the furies, and the demand was honored in due The imperial plotter ekes out his days at Paris lith a dramatic show to rival the death scene of iragustus; while his victims, hurled from power %a betrayed in sorest need, the one a gloomy re lose at Orizaba,' the other, wreathed with rue and Imsy, queening it with hollow mockery at Mira lar, to "laugh, but smile no more." lljt is the old, old story over again. It is the ie terrible lesson which history repeats^ in of life's vicissitudes and the unhallowed ?shness of the juggernaut ambition. It is the tamal strife between envy and content, teaching ^ their ruthless sequel the emptiness of earthly piration, and how it is possible for the crown to faa bruising as the cross-how substantial hap? less, obscure and humble though it be, is worth jrorld of incertitude and the ransom of a million ones. _ > t_ _; LONDON DAILIES.-The London correspon lt of the Chicago Tribune, who has been making larches among the daily newspapers at that ?, gives some interesting statistics on the sub - IL Of the Times he says : "I am informed that i1* circulation, morning and evening, is about "SOO, and that its net profits last year were not from ?50,000 " The most popular paper in -land, owing to its cheapness and powerful pcacy of the Beform question, is the London ?rob. It is a morning paper only, and its _tion ranges froii 155,600 to 160,000 daily, <its profits hist year were within a fraction of 1,00.* ais statement, sayF. tho Richmond Examiner, iras relates to the Daily Telegraph, is about . borate. Ita profits i 1863 were ?55,000 per an Pta and it has of cor.rse greatly increased. The ?ftes, however.' is by far the most profitable fcrnal in Englard. Its r>ro?ts are probably not ?8 than ?100,000 per annum. It paya its leading ".?ter ?10,000 per annum. The ciraulation of the %tB is about 75,000 per day, but each paper will %|?e at least six readers. It is customary there *iire a paper by the ho?r instead of buying it, Gborrowrag or stealing, as many do here. "18 years established in N. Y. City." "Only infallible remedies known."
