The-present Duke of Orleans is one of the richest individuals in the world. The whole Palais Royal, with all its re- venues, belongs to him. When the in- demnity voteto the emigrants was dis cussed in the Chamber of Peers, the Duke, although his claims were in, mense, spokesforeibly against the mea- sure, and voted against it. The law, however, passed, and the award to the duke was about S0.000l. per annum.

 The Duke himselfis highly accom- plishe9 and even scientific man. Dur ing his exile. he scorned 10 accept assis- tance from foreign courts as his sTela- tions the Bourbons, did, but preferred making his scientific requirements the means of his subsistence. 1t Is we'll re- membered by many noblenen and gen. tlemen of this country, when the Duke oforleans taught geography and raathe- iItssties in England after which iae went to the United States where he acted in the same capacity.

 h commemoration Of this interesting era of his life, he has a large picture in one of his drawing rooms, representing himself in the midst of his pupils, teach ing, surrounded by globes and mathe- nautical instruments, and is justly proud of that period in his eventfdi life.
