AN ARTICLE in the London June* brings to light some interesting information in regard to the Princess Mi HAT, who formed the connecting link between the BONAPARTE and the HOHF.NZOIXKRN fainilie After the ISth EJIUMAIEE, the First Consul, in order to recompense MCRAT for hi-: ervice", bestowed on him the hand of hi« lister, CAROLINE BONAI-AKTI:, MCRAT at the time being a lather and widower. hen a lieutenant of chas:eurs a cheval, he had married, and a daughter had been born to him in January, 179o. it is from this daughter, MARIE ANTOINETTE BONA CARTE, who was born seven years before her father's alliance with the BONAPAKTES, that PRINCE LEOPOLD is descended. ML*RAT hardly ever noticed this child, who, in 1S08, when only fifteen years old, married the son of the Prince of HOHENZOLLERN, who, taken prisoner at ITin, became her father's friend. In the letter which MURA wrote to his wife shortly before he was shot he spoke most affectionately of all his children, with the exception of MARIE ANTOINETTE, whose name lie did not even mention.
CHICAGO has a "l.adie-' Herman Patriotic Aid Society," which meditates holding a fair to raise money for the sick and wounded .-uldiers of Prussia and for the prospective widows and orphans of the great struggle on the Rhine.

How ditl'erent this from any other war which ha* ever occurred there. Now we have liveable a geneial idea of the contests that have taken place—so that those at all well versed in the situation of the two armies, by reference to I he map-, can easily decide where the greatest losses have been sustained and the greatest successes won. A very lew year- ago this would have been far otherwise. The declaration ot war would have been followed by a -ea on I suspen-e and anxiety* which would lonlinue until the next steamer arrived. Tlii- in turn might bring rumors of a battle, who^e detail-

In the London papers of the 25th .July we lind the report of the dinner of the Cobden Club, which we abridge from the columns of the Dutlii 'J'rh'i/ftiph:
The annual festival ol this club was celebrated on Saturday, when a large number of the members and friends dined at the Ship, 1 ireenwich. The majority of the parlv went hv steamboat from the sraiar.'. of tin* House ol Commons. At (1 o'clock upward oftwo bundled noblemen and gentlemen sat down under the presidency of the Wight lion. W. 10. Gladstone, the premier, and among the company were the Lord hancellor, the Karl of Dalhousie, the lion. Mr. J. Bigelow, Baron Melvil de Linden, Chevalier do Sehaflar, of the Austrian Legation M. Linile de Lavetave, ol Belgium the Duke of St. Albans, Lord Iioughton, Sir Colman (I'Loghlen, Senor Arturo de Morcoartu, Sir L. Ma licit, C.I'.., Mr. J. Bcal, Mr. Kdmond Bcalcs, Sir Joseph Whit worth, Bart., Sir B. Anstruther, M. P., Mr. Dowse, M. P., Solicitor General for Ireland, Sir. I.'. Dilke, M. P.. Sir W. Lawsoii, 1 r. L. Phiyfair, Mr. Caird, C. B., and other members ol the House of I'ominous.
Mr. Gladstone rose amid loud applause to propose the toast of the evening. He said: "My lords and gentlemen—I rise for the purpose of proposing to you that you drink 'Prosperity to the Cobden Club.' [Cheers.J ''My lords and gentlemen, it is imposible, in meeting you on an occasion of this kind, not to admit, and to admit with grief and concern too deep for worda, that the moment is not that which best harmonizes with the spirit of peace belonging to the name of Mr. Cobden. Within the last few days has gone forth, as with the voice of a trumpet, the proclamation of war, a proclamation of war between two of the greatest millitary powers of Europe, between two of the nations most civilized and most distinguished two nations whose names are inseparably mixed with the history of all that is great and good in the past records of C'hrisendom two nations tilted with the apparatus of destruction, in a state of perfectness higher, perhaps, than ever has been known, and animated with the motives of unshrinking patriotism. "However innocent, or honorable, or admirable these motives may be in themselves, as they dwell in patriotic breasts, yet we can not deny tlist great misery and devastation must ensue, when we reflect on these bloody engines of war. When we see that so much as man's energy has been turned to the invention of weapons for supplying the destruction of mankind, unspeakable horrors must attend many a tield of battle before this lamentable war has run its course. "It is not for us who are here assembled, still less is it for me in the office I hold, to attempt to anticipate thejudgmeut of posterity upon the great events that arc now of daily occurrence but this 1 may say that the pen of the historian will be able herafter to relate that among all the wars by which the course of the nineteenth century has been checkered there is noneso unspeakably a drawback to the progress of the age, more unniixedly sorrowful, more painful by every association to those who love their kind, than that war which is at thi-. moment prevailing. "We aic here as Christians, we arc here a-, brethren, we are here as men, upon 1 he broadest ground, upon the ground marked out for us by the man whose name is commemorated in the title o* this association [cheeis] and I am glad to think there are other:', besides ourselves assembled round Ihis festive board who testify to the hredth, character and idea that belongs to the Cobden Club,'' [Cheer. .]
Tlu- Lord Chancellor then proposed The foreign members of the club,'' a toast which he believed would command I lie deepest sv uipat hv. and coupled with the name of the Hon. Mr. Brigelow, who had done so much to promote the objects of the club in America [Cheers.
The Hon. Mr. Bigelow, in responding, said that he felt it the highest honor in having his name associated with the toast, and in beim allowed to take an humble part in commemorating the niemoiv ot the late Mr. Cobden. He enjoyed the friendship of the lamented gentleman at the time America was in the agonies ot war, and he well remembered the Ine-.ith ol sympathy, the soundness of under standing and the love of humankind which characterized him. He wa.- sorrv to ItJi11 that Mr. Cobden's opinions had not taken deep root, as yet, in American «oU butit mu.sI be remembered that the country had pa?.ed through great troubles of late, and much forbearance and patience must be shown. The policy and acts of the Legislature at Washington showed, he thought, that the days of protection were fast drawing to a close, and there was good reason to believe that ere long the principles of the great Free Trader would be adopted.

Ke.intr of a seieniilie turn of mind, his curiosity was excited, and he at once commenced inspectiuij the icmains and well lias lie been repaid, as his discovery has turned out to be no oilier than that, of the remains of an immense serpent deposited there in primeval times, ages and ages ai:o. Mi. Glass has already secured over lour hundred joints of the vertebra, and has not yet reached the end of the huge serpent. Specimens of the joints have been sent fo Prolessor Leidy, of the College of Natural Sciences, of Philadelphia, who pronounces them as undoubtedly belonging to an immense serpent of the antediluvian age. Ihe length of the serpent, so far traced, is about twenty-five feet, and judging from the usual proportions, it is estimated that its original length could not litive been short of forty feet. The bones of the vertebra are large, and would indicate that the reptile must have been at least, six or seven feet in circumference. 'I lie bones, undoubtedly, have laid there for thousands of years, and consequently much decomposed by time, the rib bones being entirely gone. The animal was carniverous, as in the location of its stomach were found a number of bones, apparently the wing or leg bone of large birds. At the point where first discovered the bones were only a couple of feet below the surface but lay laterally into the steep hill. They were not in the rock, but in the clay between the strata. At the time of its death, or when deposited, there was

or arms have so far been discovered. The formation in the vicinity gives every token of former volcanic eruptions, though the bed upon which the remains rested was quite smooth.
The Professor is inclined to the opinion that the serpent was not indigenous to this country, but was deposited there by an iceberg when they swept over this country thousands of years ago. Additional interest is lent to ibis discovery by the fact that it is the lirst of the kind ever made in America. The matter, we are happy to say, is to be tl/oroiighly investigated by scientific gentlemen.
