D jcath of J kroms B onxpartb .— The P a r a n a brings fbe news of the death of the Prince Jerome Bonaparte, the lait of th a t family which llie genius o f Napoleon raised from obBcurily to place and power, Bulletiu* regarding his health having liPed li iine in the steamer despatches for sever al weeks; and, indeed, at intervals for years he lias sufTeved such repeated and violent attacks of diseaie that his death at any lime would not have been entirely inexpocted. His death creates no vacuum in public affairs, for his life has never been the hinge of great events ; but as the relative of the reigning French Emperor, his death will receive some formal recognition on the continent, and in this country, as the hus band of an American wife, and the parent of American children, it will not pass un noticed. Jerome Bonaparte was fifteen years younger than Napoleon. He was educa ted in part by Madame Campan, and en tered the navy when his elder brother as sumed the Consulship. It was while in the navy and when cruising in American -waters, that he first met Miss Elizabeth Patterson, a young lady noted for her beauty, in a city which is famous for its hoanliful women. They were mariied on Christmas eve, in the year 1808. In 1805 they crossed the Atlantic, hut did not en ter France, for orders had been given not to admit the lady deemed plebeian by the “ plebeian Emperor.” Soon after arriving in Europe, their first child, the present Mr. Jerome Bonaparte, of Baltimore, was A little later still, under the stress of Napoleon’s desire that his relatives should marry into royal fami lies, their marriage contract was annulled, and in 180*7 Jerome was married, to the Princess Fredrica of Wurtemberg, who died about twenty five years ago. The Princess Mnthilde, the wife of Prince Demidoff', and Prince N a poleon, husband of the Princess Clotilde of Sardinia, are their surviving children. Jerome became, after his second mar- «3ago successively Admiral of the French navy. Prince of the Empire, King of West phalia, and exile. Ho had the honor of leading the French charge in the battle of Waterloo, and then again became a fugi- Ho resided in Austria and Italy, under the title of Count de Monfort (given him by the King of Wurieinburg.) until the cou 2 > d' dat elevated the Third Napoleon to a royal seat, when he again frequented the Tuileries. During the presidency he had place and privileges; and under the empire, until the birth of the Prince Im perial he was heir presumptive to the crown. His first wife still resides in BnUimors, and through a life that is now long, has remained faithful to her first and only marriage vows, whose annulment she would never acknowledge, while her faith less and weak husband, whether in the Westphalian Court or the Palais Koyal, has forgotten both his first and last, and, dying, bears no nobler title than the last of the family of the Corsican. A R emakkable Sionr.—It will be rec ollected that, some days since, much ex citement was occasioned at Jersey City by the finding of a traveling bag belonging to Mr. Bunn, of Ralhbonvilb, N. Y., and the consequent suspicion that he had been murdered. Subsequently be was heard from in Florida, and ho has now returned home, and gives a narrative of his adven- lures. He states, in substance, that he left homo on the 11th of June last, with about $1,600 on Ins person, intending to transact business on the lino of the Erie Railroad, also at Now York and Newark. He itatcs that immediately after taking -dinner at Turner’s Hotel, Oswego, ho felt very unwell, and was conscious of nothing more, until he recollects of being struck on the head because he would not get in* to a small boat. How long he remained unconscious at that time he does not know but when ho recovered he found himself out at sea in a small coasting schooner, robbed of everything except his watch, which he carried ip such a manner that easily escaped detection. The vessel was an old foretopsail schooner, painted black. Mr. Bunn thinks that there was patch on the foretopsail. Th< on the foretopsail. The captain was a middling sized m a n ; thinks he would know him ; when Mr. Bunn would ask any question in relation as to hja whereabouts, the ordy answer he would receive was, “ Your fate is paid, sir.”— The crew consisted of six or seven men, with whom he was allowed no conversa tion whatever. After being at sea six or seven days, they neared laud, and he as certained that they were on the coast of Florida. He was put ashore in a small boat, after solemnly promising not to speak to one of the hands in the boat. Fovtu- uately, he reached a planter's house before sight, where ho was kindly cared for, and after be had sufficiently recovered, fur- stshed funds with which he returned home From the state of his system, Mr. B. thinks he was drugged at the hotel where he took supper, at Oswego. He does not think the hands on board the schooner knew anything about the transactions on shore, nor in fact anything regarding h im ,’ except as a passenger. He will visit Jersey H e will visit Jersey C ity at toon as his bealtb is sufficiently recovered to bear the jo a r o e y ; m eantim e the authorities o f the latter place will take every m eans to in* VM tigate the matter.

S abatooa S pkinos , July 16th 1860. F riend M atthkwson :— I was very glad to ste.-il aw a y from the IlEaisTER ofiice and its incidental cares, for a few days— both, for the respite it afifoided me and to enjoy a rennion o f fam ily friends at Saratoga Springs. A t Schenectady on our way thitherward, w e had to w a it a couple o f hours for the Saratoga train, w h ich tim e I w h iled aw a y quite p leasantly,-with my friend L ovkridqb , Editor o f the JVeics; w h o se in telligence and suavity of manner render his senotum inviting, even to one w h o has ju s t run aw a y from printing, for pleasure. Wo reached the Springs at 5 1-2 o’o.,— and ns tea is served at 7, wo had abundant time for preliminary “ brush up” and re- connoiter.^' Mr. and Mrs. H. of Louisiana, whom wo were especially to join, met ns on our arrival and gave us a greeting, truly characteristic of Southern cordiality. As our friends stopped at the “ United Slates,” of course wo took rooms there also. Tljis is one of the oldest houses, and has a p rri- Hffe w'hich secures it immense patronage.— It is said to have accomodations for twelve hundred guests, and its utmost capacity is tested during the “ heated term.” Of its rooms, excepting the Parlors,Diuing Rooms and public Dancing IJal], I cannot speak very flatteringly. Oojiiposed of a series of structures or accretions, from time to time, as required hy necessity, the rooms illy comport with the gorgeous habiliments and gaudery of tlie occupants, ns displayed around the Dining tables and in the Draw ing Rooms. Tlio same objection may bo well taken to Oongrens ilnll, and Union Hall, two other establishments of little, if any, less capacity—and perhaps enjoying an equal share of fashionable patronage,-— The older portions of those edifices wil; soon, doubtless,be demolished, and replaced by structures of a more modern and com modious character. The ereotioD of the “ O l a r e « d o n ,” a new , first class hotel, on Broadw a y , in the vicin ity o f OongresB Spring, w ill hasten those im p rovem ents in the other honscs,or divert Fashion to more com fortable quarters. This house w as opened the present season, un der the auspices o f Mr. P d t n a m , of N o w Y o rk— and is one o f the m o st perfect struc tures any w h e r e to be found. The rooms, the bedding, tbo furniture, the gas—and conveniences on every hall, particularly neeetsary for. those who indnlge in frequent potations at the spring—render the C lar e n d o n a desirable place to tarry; and under its present management, it must become very popular as one of the hotels of Bara- Saratoga may not bo said to bo yet really filled up. The visitors are mostly Southern ers and Spaniards, who are bothered how to spend their Income—and can find no bettor place than here for plonstire and the deple tion of the pocket. Both luxuries may be enjoyed to their lioartB* content. It is this great prodigality of wealth, nowliore more apparent, and nowliero more lavishly b e stow e d , that basso vitiated the sensibilities and catered to the'nvnrico o f hotel keepers and the lackeys in their em p loym ent. For precedence, in the allotm ent o f rooms, the Proprietor is “ m oved” by the “ prospect.” The nabob, w h o se w a n ts are many,and w h o covers them w ith gold^ o f course is first and best served. E v en the w a iters are actuated by this motor, and notw'ithsfand- ing their salar}', m o v e siuggislily in atten dance, around the tables or elsew h e r e, un less bribed by extra feps. The C l a r e n d o n is introducing a new system ,in this respect, by prohibiting their servants from exacting perquisites, and requiring them to render prompt and needed service to all their guopts alike. To those w h o deem $2,60 per day adequate pay for good accom odations and the usual fare— and can hardly afford to exceed that lim it, a ohango would be m ost a ccep table. Indeed,It is a sham e and a reproach, to allow certain of th e guests to he neglec ted, because unw illing to yield to tlie exac tions o f im p ortunate and often insolent waiters. The evil, burdensom e and even intolerable to persons o f m o d erate means, w h o desire and need recreation, is directly the result of illjudged and m isplaced liber ality on the part of a certain class o f visi tors, by which the servants are spoiled\ for general u se; and, perhaps th e best w a y to abate the evil, is to make its absence the prptninent feature o f som e new and first class bonse. In this We a re g lad to see that the Ct-ARCHPOK iAitakln^ tlie initiative— and is bound to have all Ita g u e sts fare alike, and to have them alika attentively itrved, free from axlortion and imposition.. The new dancling hall, at the United States, is a beautiful room, furnished by the Hotel with an excellent band of mnsio ev ery evening.

Our friends and myself concladccl to avail ourselves of the oppor tunity to hear the Rev. W. H. MiLBnRK,the eloquent bliud preacher. By repairing to the church quite early, we secured good seats, although the house was fbll and many could not get admittance. Mr. M. has a young look, and can scarcely have attained his 40th year. As he is seated in the pul pit, you would notice a defect in his eyoi but, when ho speaks, his animated manner, graceful gesture and fervent eloquence dissi pate nil thought of his misfortune, and the andicnce become entirely captivated by his impassioned appeals. In analyzing and comparing tbe doctrines of Epicurns and Zeno with the religion of Christ, the speak er exhibited a range of thought and degree of eloquence and logic, which may well have given him the pre-aminence he enjoy.s as a pulpit orator. Shrouded in physical darkness, he becomes eo illnmincd in couu- tontance, while engaged in his discourse, and 80 interested in his theme, that I was reminded of a passage in one of Mrs. \W kl - by ' b poems, slightly modified to suit the With his eyes closed to nature — Their mournful eclipse Made bright by the smiles That illumined his lips !

Whether ho is to come for polilicial conso lation, or to bo refreshed by the waters, I am not advised—perhaps, both. 0. W. W. A F iendish O utrage and R ape .—On Saturday the 15th inst, a young man named A lbert W alrath , aged some 16 or 17,was arraigned before Justice W endell , of tliis village, on the charge of rape. It is alleged that ns a Miss S elinda D unokel , aged 16, and her associate, A lmira M over , aged 10, were in afield, picking berries,on Thursday afternoon last, in Dutchtown, young W al - RATH approached them,and by intimidation, first obliged tlie girls to expose their jierson, and aterwards succeeded in ravishing the elder one. W alrath is represented to have been deliberate in his plans and most ob scene in his conversation—and by the free brandisliing of his knife and threats of mur der, if the girls gave any alarm,he appears to have made them quail with fear. The testiinony on the examination shows that ho directed the younger girl to turn her /ace the otlier way, while ho proceeded to accomplish his brutal purpose. We are in formed th a t the ln«i o f thU fallow hu« l«A ilim to perpetrate other insults and outrages heretofore—which have been passed over, on account of the delicacy of the injured.— On tllio evidence given, the Justice com mitted him to the County Jail, to await the action of the Grand Jury. E lopement at S t . -T oiinsville . —For about nine months past a Dr. L yons has praciidd somowhat aucoossfiilly upon the oi'cdiiillty of the good people of St. Jolins- villo, where he came an entire stranger.— During the past spring he married a daugh ter of E dwin S nell In that village, a young lady about 17 years old, and received some material aid from Mr. &uell. In the inean- whilo, ho is said to have also piooured means on the endorsement of several ooufi- dentlftl friends. On the 11th inst. it seems he concluded to go into real estate—made a contrict with Mr A. T humb for his house and lot, for $1,600, and paid him $100 down by the note of Mr. Snell. On the following day, July 12th, under the pretense tiiat lie was going after money, he departed with bis wife for Verona. A younger daughter of Mr. Snell, about 16, with whom the Dr. had been too intimate, under the pretense that she was going to a party, fixed up, and managed to esoiipe on the Steamboat express train for Albany, on Saturday afternoon. Wliloli, togetlier with the further fact that Lyons had left his wife at Yoroiin, under the pre tense of having business In Rouhester, and had aot since returned, render the Inference irresistible that he has not only abandoned his wife, but lins eloped with her sister. Parlies answering their dosoription were seen on the Steamboat for New York.- Tt is believed that L yons operated under an assunned name—and his career is only one of a thousand lessons to that class who will only learn wisdom by experience. We un derstand that he had mulcted different per sons to tbe tune of some $700 or $800.

Special Mail Agent D. M. Bull has been ferreting out the evildoer. It was suspected that the thefts were committed by some one in the Siitis ville office, and accordingly several deci had been sent for tlio letters ! purpose of detecting the perpetintor. Tiie Inst one was sent on Thursday. This morning Mr. Hull and Oharloa Reed, Deputy U. S. Marsliiil, went to Stitisville, and, having rea-ion to suspect William Owens, cleik in the post office, they proceeded to examine him, and found on ids person the last do coy letter, which contained ihiiiy dollars in bills and thirty five cents in silver, which were so maiked as to be positively idenii Red. Marshal Reed accordingly took him in custody and brought him before U. S. Odrntnissioner Boyce, wbo committed him to jail to await examination on Monday next; by which lime it is expected U. S. Attorney Spenctjr, or his assistant, will he here to conduct it. Owens is only about twenty one years ol ago, and has hitherto been looked upon ns an honest young man by his immediate acquaintances, but the avidari/xiB of his eiiill are too pidp.ihle to warrant the hopes of his friends, that he may be acquitted of tlni pbarga. B ot ’ s H ead S awed O pen .—Yesterday afternoon a boy named William Chalniers, 13 years of ago, employed in the eaah and blind factory of James Deboiso, in Thir- lieth alreel, noiir Eleventh avenue, had Ids head sawed open by a circular saw, and St I lingo to say, I ihm nut, as yet, siifferod from the effecls of iJio operation.

The doclois think that he will recover.— AT. Y. Eve. Post, 1 2lh. On Saturday morn\ substance of the fiammatory pindnet began to prut rude llirougli the wound, and paialysis of the left arm supervened about four o’clock in tire nfiernoou. Until liiis time the do- morning ihe disorganized brain mingled with in antee the intej iegrity of Bomba’s dominions, oven for the sake of procuring that poten tate’s adhesion to the cause of nationality; while the despot’s announcement of a now copstitutlou is everywhere received wit diffei'our who eil or pronounce that it is the concession of one with his back to the wall, who may hereiifier annul it more patrias, as the effect of compulsion. Thus the latest devices of F rancis to sus tain himself have proved total failures. The idea of the minion of Austria meta morphosing himsolf instantaneously into a “ patriot king,” is too absurd to be enter tained by any ; and the hereditary peifidy of his family, coupled with its utisea- Ron-ableness, has divested the constiiiition rwsc of all eflSt-acy. W h a t alternalive then has B omba , save to crush the revolution by Yorce or succumb to il ? To crush it by force now is. however, almost out of the question. For not only is Sicily de facto gone, but already, even in his very capital evvivas ascend to heaven for Sicily, annex ation and Garibaldi.
