The second letter is as follows : Dear Field Marshal Radetzky,—l grant a free pardon to the undersigned, condemned for high treason or other criminal acts against public order. FRANCIS JOSEPH. Venice, December 2, 1856. This second letter is accompanied by a list of 70 persons. nand 11. ; fora short time they were modified, but since the Ministers of the allied Powers have left there has been another outbreak, and all that the most impious and fulsome adulation can repeat is daily published in the Times of Naples. I send you a translation of a leader in the number of the 17th, not as a mere literary curiosity, but as a spe cimen of the tone which is adopted by those who know best how to crawl into the royal favour, and as being highly significant of the feeling of the court, for in this country, where the censor blots out every offensive word. not a line would be per mitted which did not meet with approbation. The passage runs as follows : Felicity and joy ever dwell where our adored monarch is with his august concert and his royal children. Every act of theirs, every step, is an example of edifying piety, of provident love for the good of all, of charity, of munificence without limits and without parallel. The best of kings, the best father of a people boundlessly devoted and grateful to him, consecrates unweariedly to the cares of State certain days, condescending to direct his benign attention to whatever is subjected to his exalted and sapient judgment, and even in his evening drives on the road which leads from Gaeta to Castellone he finds no greater pleasure tha❑ that of succouring and benefit ting ; nor does he re-enter the Palace until after having visited the house of God, gathering about him her Majesty the Queen and the Royal Princes, as well in the temples as at the altars, as he did on the evening of the 13th inst., at the first hour of night, receiving the benediction in the Church of St. Judas Taddmus, which was added by his piety not lone since to the many sacred monuments of his incomparable zeal for Divine worship. And this is the flame which, burning ever in the magnanimous heart, compels the Sacred Hand which rules our destinies to scatter without ceasing in our necessities, in vast sums the balsam of beneficence. Among most recent examples of Sovereign generosity, we ought to cite the many thousand ducats there bestowed (query, where? On the road between Gaeta and Castellone?) by his beneficient Majesty to the indigent, if undeniable truths had any need of proof." The Malacca, British war steamer, which came in on Saturday, is likely to remain here, at all events until further orders, a fact which gives us all satis faction, for though we are in a state of the most perfect tranquility, and the Liberals are resolved not to disturb it, all contingencies should be pro vided for, nor is it consistent with the dignity of a great people that any of its members should be left unprotected. THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. Bank, 5 per cent. prem.; Gas Company, 10 per cent. prem. We subjoin our usual full details of the LATEST COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. MELBOURNE. Business opened more briskly at the outset of the week, and had the fine weather continued, there is no doubt that a good trade would have been carried on from the interior, and the storekeepers thence have made their appearance in town ; bnt the rain setting in again, another lull has taken place, and the markets become quite quiet, except in a few articles, viz.:— BOTTLED BEER : In Byass's half ale and half stout, sales have been effected as high as 12s 3d net cash ; Marzetti's, lls 6d ; and inferior brands at 10s 9d to lls 3d, with a very great demand. RICE : There is a great speculation going on in this article, which h s caused an advance of fully 30s per ton. £2O has been given for good Patna. SPIRITS : The large arrivals of brandy seem to have had little influence on the price of Martell's. We quote the price at 13s 61 to 138 93, and in good demand, considering the gerieral state of trade. There is decidedly more enquiry for lower class brandies, and also far low mixing ditto. In whiskey, notwithstanding the large arrivals of this liquor, prices are maintained. The quotations are 6s 61 to 6s 9d for good lots ; and for one very superior lot, 7s 61 was obtained. The demand for old torn, in bulk, is very great, and the supply small. We hear that 9s 434 has been obtained for pure white and a known brand. BUTTES of first•class quality is scarce, and is 4d obtained. There is a great deal of inferior in the market at is to Is 2d. WINES : Claret and light wines seem again in great demand, and no less than 10,000 dozen claret changed hands this week. Sales (part to arrive) have ready been effected at 23s 6d to 255. Hock at 235. Champagne at 25s 6d to 28s. . . CANDLES are still very dull of sale. We have heard of offers of Belmont No. 1, Price's, at Is 2d, and others as high as Is 3d. Soa;: There has been a recent importation of Colgate's soap, in 20 lb boxes. Also a superior lot of same brand. STARCH : Which it seems is much liked by the trade. it is not improbable but this starch will stand well in future. FLOUR : The Flour market is very unsettled, and the small amount of transactions effected have been at reduced rates. We quote a reduction on the week of from to .S 2 per ton. Much discussion and difference of opinion prevails with regard to the future prospects of the market in this article. Whilst some view with apprehension the recent large additional sup plies, and manifest an anxiety to keep their stocks within limit, others appear to be sanguine holders on the faith of previous unfavourable advicea received from abroad ; but the unex pected arrival of the Antador, from Talcahuano, with a cargo of wheat, had taken the trade by surprise, and shaken their confidence, parti cu l ar ly w h en it is understood that some of these shipments have been by foreign speculators anxious to relieve their own markets and maintain prices. Others again build their hopes upon a return of fine weather and large orders from the country. We certainly favour the opinion that we cannot look for much improvement until we experience a more legitimate and active demand, and a falling off in supplies. We finish our report for the week with noticing an advertisement which appeared in one of our public journals on Thursday last, from one of our most extensive millers, offering flour at under current rates; but as applicants were refused, it is conjectured this was an attempt to force a further reduction, with a view to an ultimate advantage ; on this discovery, it had the opposite of the desired effect, and instead of the market being easier, as might have been the case in ordinary course of business, actually imparted more confidence at the time, but not sufficient however to cause any speculation. The week closes with the reduction above quoted. WHEAT : The supply of colonial wheat from farmers is very meagre, in consequence of the bad state of the roads, from the long continued rains ; millers, however, refuse to purchase except at reduced rates. Many farmers that had previously sold to deliver at prices ranging from 9s to 10s have been unable to complete their contracts. The cargo of wheat ex Antador is of a superior description to any which we have yet seen imported from South America. OATS : There is a good irquiry for colonial oats at full rates, but the quantity of Scotch and Irish offering at tempting low figures, effectually prevent higher prices being realised. The imports of bran have been large, and a cessation of shipments is desirable until present stocks are greatly reduced. Little or no change in other articles. HAY : Sales have been exceedingly dull for inferior, with which the mat ket has been glutted. The quotations for this class are nominal, few offers being refused:—Best hay, £9 to £lO per ton ; second class, £6 to £7 do ; stained do, £2 to £5 do. Number of loads for the week, 365; former do, 405. MELBOURNE WOOL, TALLOW, AND BIDE MARKET. WOOL : The advices per Montmorency of the closing of the London May sales, at a decline on the highest rates of about lid per lb has caused buyers to operate cautiously ; there being, however, still a good margin of profit left, holders are indisposed to submit to any considerable reduction. We can, however, quote fellruonger's scoured wool at 19(1 to 21d per lb, being a shade easier than cur last week's rates. TALLOW : We have still a fair demand for shipment, for which purpose, as also for local use, we have moved some parcels during the week at our quotations. viz :—Beef tallow, £35 to £37 per ton ; mixed do £3B do ; mutton do £4O to £,42 do. `HZDES We — Ervc; braid of country bides being bought and taken delivery of, at Keller, at 14s 6d each. We have moved some small parcels of town cured hides, at our quotations, which are as follows, viz. :—For good country salted, 14s each ; town cured, 15s 61 to 163 each. Wales and Tasmania, 190 tons; United Kingdom, 33 tone; United States, 11 tons ? Chilian, 540 tons, New Zealand and foreign, 286 tons. BRAN : South Australian, 6,650 bush is ; New South Wales and Tasmania, 5,435 bushels, MAIZE : New South Wales and Tasmania, 5,605 bushels. BARLEY : New South Wales and Tasmania, 50 bushels. OATS . New South Wales and Tasmania, 13,566 bushels; United Kingdom, 12 994 bushels. GRAM, &c : New Zealand and foreign, 14 bushels. OATMEAL : United Kingdom, 66 tons. RICE : United Kingdom, 5 tons ; New Zealand and foreign 14 tons. Hors : United Kingdom, 2,464 lbs; United States, 5,760 lbs. EXPORTS. WHEAT : 300 bushels. FLltsft: 59 tons. GRAM, &c ; 560 bushels. 52 tons Mr. William Watts, of Geelong, reports having sold by auction during the week, as follows : Cork butter, Is. to Is. 3d. ; American bacon, 9 : ld ; Rio coffee, 73-,d ; preserved fish and lobsters, Is. 3d ; preserved salmon, Is. 6d; flour, £25; Scotch oats, 6s; wheat, 10s, 6d ; China rice, 14s ; Liver pool soap, 245; pota'oes, 60s; salt, 120 s ; brandy, 335. to 40s; gin, 575. 6d ; old tom, 40. Mr. Watts remarks : Business has been rather flit this week; potatoes are still at £3 to £3 10s. without sign of alteration. There is a brisk demand for oa's at present at u otation. SICILY. Advices from Palermo of the 29th November, state that tranquillity prevailed at that city. The French steamer Ducbayla had arrived there and exchanged salutes with the forts. Some of the French officers went on shore. The recent outbreak is said to be completely suppressed. _ PRUSSIA. BERLIN, DEC. 7. Yesterday the Minister of Finance laid two bills before the House of Deputies, the first concerning a modification of the excise duty on flour grinding and on forest clearing, and the second concerning the approval of the accounts, rendered by the Chamber of Accounts, of the income and expendi ture of 1854, as well as the approval of the Budget for 1857,which amounts to 120 millions of thalers, or £18,000,000, the supplementary taxes and the new taxes not included. The Minister of Justice has also laid on the table the bill concerning di vorces, and a committee has been formed to report on it. The Ministers of Public Worship and Agri culture likewise presented hills. The Evangelical Conference was closed on the sth inst. by a speech from its president, Herr von Uechtritz, to which the Minister Flotwell replied. HOLLAND. The ministry has fallen. This afternoon the Chamber was unusually full, four members only being absent, while the strangers' galleries were crowded. All the ministers were in their places, except the Minister of the Interior, who was said to be indisposed. At one o'clock the President put to the vote the budget of the Minister of the Interior. A division had been taken on this measure the day before, when an equal number of votes (32) was given for and against it This day the same took place, and ministers were accordingly defeated. There are so many Vicar of Bray ministers in this ministry that it is not very certain what they will now do. The leading ministers in all cases must resign. Dr. Simons, the Minister of the Interior, is a man universally respected, but he was not the man to be placed in so prominent a political situation as the leader of a ministry pro fessedly antagonist to the majority of the States General. He was called upon by his sovereign, his former pupil, to attempt an impracticable feat, that of satisfying the intolerance of a few without exciting the mistrust of the many. It can surprise no one more than himself that he has been able to sustain his position even during the five months he has held his portfolio. As a minister he must have been sincere in his desire to serve his sovereign and his country, since in his fidelity to them he has had to renounce his antecedents and many of his most valued friends. He has lost much and gained nothing by his five months's service as a minister except to know, by experience, that clerical intole rance, however disguised by the semblance of liberality, will never succeed among a people that boast such a history as is that of the Netherlands. The budget of the minister of marine has been accepted by the states general. It met with a certain amount of opposition, but on the whole the marine department is popular in Holland, and the minister makes no extravagant demand. THE EAST Accounts state that Russia had demanded from the Shah of Persia a right of entry into the Pro vince of Makon, the name of Mogan will have to be substituted, for it reproduces more correctly the Persian expression. Mogan is the Persian district, south of the river Aras, which partly forms the frontier between Persia and the Transcaucasian provinces of Russia. The eastern desert, part of Mogan, has belonged to Russia since 1812. Kerman is situated about 200 miles east of Shiraz, on the borders of the desert of Beloocheestan. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 29 A first number of a review devoted to political economy will be published here in January ; the prospectus is issued. The name of the chief editor is Vernadskii. Tegoberski, the well known Russian statistician, who lately made himself conspicuous by taking up the gauntlet thrown down to the financiers of Russia by Leon Faucher. Baron Pleyendorff, Hayst, Senowskii, and others, are among the contributors. Russia, in fact, begins to follow the example of Prussia and Austria, where political economy has become the main object of dis cussion to an extraordinary extent since the English tariff reform of 1846. In Russia the struggle for free trade will be as severe as it is in Austria, but whoever has attentively watched the march of internal reform in the East of Europe knows that the example given by Prussia always prevails in the long run with Russian as well as with Austrian statesmen; and as, from the state of public opinion in Prussia, hardly any doubt can exist that that monarchy, at the next renewal of the Zollverein treaty in 1863, will throw all her weight into the balance in favour of thorough free-trade, and will most probably carry the whole of Germany with her. Russia and Austria, too, need not be despaired of. It is difficult to form an adequate idea of the consequences, if the whole East of Europe be thrown open to the trade of the world. Hitherto, the financial resources of the three European Powers, which it includes, have been kept down, so far as return from customs duties is concerned, to a ridiculously small extent, by the protective system, the object of which is, not to impose a tax, but to destroy trade. Here is to be sought the true reason of their comparative military weakness, in spite of the large population which they possess. The West of Europe has never suffered so much from the protective system as the East, which, more backwards from the beginning in industry and agriculture, has stifled by protec tion the germ of commerce in an undeveloped state, as an injury inflicted on a child will cripple it more than a similar injury would cripple a grown up man. But far more important than the influ ence of an increased military strength of the Eastern powers will be that of an increased prosperity of their subjects, and it will act in the very opposite direction. Neither of the two nations which rule the East of Europe, the Russian and the German, have any natural predilection for war ; on the contrary, they constitute the most peaceful elements in the East, and have become its con querors—because their greater industry, as com pared to that of the Poles and Magyars, for instance, furnished their Governments with com paratively greater material resources, and likewise made them increase more rapidly in numbers. In • the long run it is always the more peaceful who conquers. A n d i n t h e l on g run these nations, increasing in wealth and the desire of independ ence consequent up it, will conquer the military element in their own Governments more easily than any body else can do. NAPLES. NAPLES, Nov. 20. His Majesty lives within a world of his own, and beyond it cares little perhaps for what is going on. His flatterers crowd about him and offer their incense daily ; and the offering is duly accepted, and through these odorous clouds little is seen distinctly. In previous letters I called your atten tion to th e i m pious epithets which the Giornale (the Court jo urn al) was always applying to Ferdi- AUSTRALIA. We, yesterday, briefly announced the arrival of the ship True Briton in the the Channel, with later advices from Melbourne. We have since received our files of papers from Melbourne to the 12th of September. from Sydney to the 7th, and from Hobart Town to the 4th of September, all inclusive. The White Star Line of packet-ship Golden Era, which left Liverpool on the 20th of June, arrived out at Port Philip on the 9th of September, and the ship British Trident, belonging to the "Liverpool Line of packets," which left this port on the 6th of June, arrived out on the same day. The following vessels from Liverpool had also arrived out, viz., the Ellen, Sea, and de Sala berry. The Guiding Star, Victory, and Rienzi, from London, had also arrived out. In reference to the passage of the Golden Era, the Melbourne Age, of Sept. 10, says : The White Star liner Golden Era has anticipated the Black Ball ship Saldanah. The Golden Era left Liverpool on the 20th June, and was thirty-three days to the Eqautor, but since that time she has fully made good the long passage to that latitude, for she was on the meridian of the Cape of Good Hope on the 16th of August, and entered Port Philip Heads at 7 a.m. yesterday, thereby making the passage in eighty days. Captain Brown is spoken of by the passengers as having conduced materially to their comfort by his gen tlemanly behaviour and attention to them during the passage. The same paper, in reference to the British Trident, says : The British Trident, which arrived in the bay yesterday, has encountered very severe gales from the latitude of 42 degs. S. longitude 3 deg. E., during which time three suits of sails have been blown away, the main and mizen topmasts heads were carried away, as likewise the main-top-sail yard. She crossed the equator on the 9th July, and made the Otway on the 4th inst. _ _ The White Star liner, Red Jacket, was announced to leave Melbourne on the 25th of Sept. She was fast filling with cargo and passengers, in reference to which the Age says :—' 4 Wool has only yet coin% menced to come down in small parcels but the Red Jacket's engagements comprise several hundred bales, and she bids fair in this respect, and with the quantity of gold she will have, to take away as valuable a cargo as ever left this port." The True Briton has brought a considerable amount of gold. The clearances, as reported in the papers for shipment by her, were : On Sept. 4 3B ounces. 5 15,018 „ 6 If 537 0 /, 10 11... Total 73,680 ounces. The political news is not of much moment, political attention being chiefly directed to the progress of the elections. In many districts the government candidates had been defeated, which had given great scope to the press to condemn the policy of Ministers. A meeting had been held in the Melbourne Hall of Commerce, which had for its object to impress upon the government the importance of commencing public works without waiting for a vote of the new Parliament. The government, in fact, have always done this. Indeed, the revenue of the year has generally been ',half expended before it was voted. There will, however, be an alteration in this, by-and-bye. . The Age, in reference to this move says : " The election of three directors for the colonial bank had taken place, when the successful candi dates were Messrs. Cohen, Muir, and Caldwell." A fine specimen of an ingot of silver, obtained near the Coliban, had been exhibited in Melbourne The component parts of the ore were—Silver, 90.00 per cent. Gold, 00.15 do. Copper, 0.10 do. ' Tin, a trace, It was discovered by a Mr. Pick, a storekeeper near the Coliban. At a meeting of the chamber of commerce, the power of landing waiters to detain goods in the different customs sheds for the ships freight and lighterage, after the duty has been paid, had been brought under the notice of the committee by the perusal of a correspondence between Messrs. Cole, Bruce, and Norton, and the collector of customs It would appear that whilst, according to the law of shipping, a master does not lose his lien upon goods landed at any particular wharf, in obedience to an act of parliament, yet that the customs authorities have no right to interfere between the consignee and ship, or lighter agent. The collector of customs states that it has been decided that when goods are once voluntarily given up to the customs officer, that the lien for freight is gone. After some discussion, a deputation consisting of Messrs. Josephs, Westgarth. and Hammill, were appointed to wait upon the Hon. The Chief Com missioner of Customs on the subject. Taken as a whole the commercial advices are of a satisfactory character. In the early part of the week, ending Sept. 10, business opened more briskly, and had the fine weather continued a good trade would have been carried on from the interior, as the storekeepers from thence had made their appearance in town, but the rain setting in had caused a partial suspension of intended operations. The money market was very easy, and there was an abundant supply of capital offering at eight per cent. The wool markets had suffered a slight decline in consequence of the advices of the London May Wool sales not coming up to the expectations of the Colonists. The Flour Market was unsettled, and the contracted business going forward was generally at prices from 11. to 21. lower than previously reported. The latest gold Circular gives the receipts by escort at 36,020 ounces. The price of gold ranged from 755. 3d. to 755. 6d. per ounce. There was not much business doing in the Stock Market. The follow ing are given as the quotations of Stocks:— . Hobson's. Bay Railway, at 481. 10s.: Colonial GOLD CIRCULAR. The prices for the week have been—Castlemaine and Berl 'lig°, 75s 3d to 75s 6d; Korong, Dunolly, Avoca, and Mary borough, 76s ; Ovens, 768 3d ; Ballarat, 768 6d ; and the supply has not been so good as for some weeks. The rush to Dunolly is still progressing, and there are now upwards of 16,000 people on the field ; the distance from Maryborough is 13 miles, on the Korong road. A correspondent on the Ovens field informs us that the rush to the N.S.W. field has sub sided ; many have returned from the Rocky River, and this has had the effect of making the diggers on that rich field quite resigned to their ounce of gold per diem. At the Anderson Creek diggings some new ground has been opened, the success attending which we have not yet heard. Some capital ma chinery is now being removed to that field, and we have every reason to believe it will prove a profitable speculation, as the quartz is very good. The Steiglitz gold field is rapidly be coming more productive from the rich quartz, and we hope the government will soon establish an escort to that place. At present, though only 16 miles from Geelong, there is no way of getting the gold to Melbourne, as the government will not allow gold to be forwarded by escort from Geelong to Mel bourne, and by this means the miners arc not receiving the full value of their gold. The silver brought to town, said to be from the mine recently discovered on the Coliban River, is now on view at our office. Its analysis gives about 90 per cent, of silver, alloyed with copper and a small proportion of gold. We trust soon to be furnished with specimens of the mineral from the mine. Receipts per escort, 36,020 Ohs. 15 dryts.—WILLIAM CLARKE and SONS, Gold Brokers, 86, Elizabeth-street. MELBOURNE LABOUR MARKET.

CANDLES : Holders are not anxious to sell at present rates, in the hope of a revival iu price at Melbourne. The quantity coming forward will. however, prevent any considerable advance, unless speculation to a large extent takes plane. SUGARS : The intelligence received from Manilla by the William Oswald of the greatly enhanced cost of sugars in that market has caused considerable excitement here, and has had the effect of enhancing prices for both raw and refined sugars. A large business has been done in both articles. Several heavy parcels of pampanga have changed hands at rates but slightly below present quotations, and the demand for refined sugars still continues unusually extensive. The Sugar Company quote as follows :—Loaf, snowdrops, and crushed, .852 ; crystals, £47 to 149, pieces £45, bastards £4l, treacle /25, pampanga, Colonial rum, 28 0.p., 14s 3d (duty paid.)

Among her 1.2 passengers are Captain Brownell, G.E.C., and Calmer, 3d West India Regiment, both from Sierra Leone. Disputes, chiefly between the natives, appear to prevail all along the coast. The British Consul visited the Cameroons in the steamer Gambia, and held a palaver between the contending tribes. The Gambia brought from Fernando Po to Teneriffe several members of the Spanish missions and four coloured youths for training. Affairs at Lagos arc quiet, but an out break is hourly expected. The gunvessel Minx, 3, Commander Roe, continues in the harbour waiting any contingency. Oil plentiful, trade brisk, and the people healthy. Both here and at Accra the con flict between the Ashantees and their neighbours near Cape Coast Castle is not yet at an end, and only 400 pounds of gold could be shipped in con sequence. The river trade at Sierra Leone continues unsettled, through internal disturbances. The town trade is brisk, especially in gold and hides, the latter commanding 10d and l 0 d.

It appeared that the breaking of the " law" consisted in posting bills for a tea party for the Rev. Dr. Taylor. The magistrates fined the offender, and said Dr. Taylor ought to pay the fine. ROYAL COLOSSEUIC—In the tempest, if the term may be used, of popular entertainments which swells the town, the above house keeps of a leading course. Mr. Heath may truly be said to anticipate the taste of a large and p o p u l ar class, and nothing, in its way, can be better than the Colosseum entertainments. There is an entire new com pany and change of performance this week, w hi c h cannot fail, as usual, to be attractive, IMPORTANT TO RAILWAY TRAVELLERS. r A short time ago a gentleman, whose family is well known in the Channel Islands, being about to proceed to India, was anxious to pay a visit to his mother, who was at. Reading, before he left England, and he took a ticket for that place by the Great Western Railway. While he was in the waiting-room, he happened to show money in notes and gold in his pocket-book, which he placed in the breast-pocket of his inner coat. He got into an empty compartment of a first-class carriage, and was followed by a fashionably dressed and gentlemanly looking man, who, as soon as the train started, addressed some obser vations to the gentleman, th e result o f w hi c h was a po li te conversation between them, upon a variety of matters, in which the stranger showed that he was acquainted with a number of well known sporting men , an d cou ld converse on all the topics of the day. Taking a small case from his: pocket, he took from it a flask and a glass. Into the lattor he poured some sherry, which he drank, and was about to return the flask to the case, when he suddenly begged his fellow -passenger's pardon :for not asking him to take a glass with him at first, and hoped he would allow him the pleasure, &c. The gentleman assented, and a glass was handed to him, the contents of whffth he drank. H e directly fell asleep, and did not awake till the train arrived at Swindon, when he found himself lone;a his pockets had been cut open, and he had been robbed of .e 6?, but fortunately a larger sum, which was concealed on iI person, had not been found by the thief. It is supposed that the flask was a double one, and that out of one part theNelinquent helped: himself to a glass of real sherry, and that, having induced, by his assumed courtesy, his intended victim to take a glass with him, he poured from another part, which contained a liquid with which some drug was mixed, and which having produced its effect, he rifled his pockets, and got out at an intermediate station. The gentleman is now on his way to India ; and though his name is not published with these particulars, it has been communicated to us privately. There is not the slightest doubt of the accuracy of the above statement. The person wore large whiskers and moustaches. JENKINS OUTDONE. Our thanksgiving to day was signalised at two o'clock by the marriage of Senator Douglas of Illinois, to Miss Ada Cutts, of Washington, after which the married couple took the cars for their future residence in Chicago. The bride was accompanied to the altar by several brides maids; but the senator, being a widower, went alone. Only a few of his personal friends, including General Shields and Senator Slidell, were present. The marriage ceremony was performed by Father Byrne, of the Roman Catholic Church in the religion of which the bride was educated, at Georgetown nunnery. Senator Douglas himself is not known to have decided leanings towards any religious faith, though some of his friends draw a favour able inference from his recent land donation to a Baptist College In Chicago. In the matter of age and personal beauty there is a wide difference between the bridegroom and the bride. Miss Cutts is tall, elegantly formed, with a sweet oval face, large brown eyes, small Grecian foreheads around which are entwined the heavy braids of her glossy and abundant chestnut hair. On her clear, peachy com plexion there is a perpetual war of the roses— the red and the white—each failing to maintain a sole supremacy. Altogether her tout ensemble, as the flunkeys say, vindicates the good taste of the " Little Giant." For the gratification of your lady readers the current story as to the way the match was brought about may be worth mentioning. Three months ago the judge—as Mr. Douglas is familiarly called —called at the house of his friend, Senator Bright, who lives just opposite Mr. Cutts', and it so happened that Miss Cutts was there also. Immediately after she left, Senator Bright remarked to his compeer, " Douglas it's really a shame you're not married. You ought to find a wife at once, and there's the lady for you." The suggestion seemed to strike Douglas with the force of novelty. Accord ingly, procuring an introduction from Mr. Bright to the house over the way, he soon found the recommenda tion more than borne out by the actual reality, in the personal and mental charms of Miss Cutts. He became a frequent visitor, and the engagement was made in the latter part of the summer, though it did not transpire until a few weeks ago. Miss Cutts may be 22 years of age. She is a contemporary and member of the circle of belles, all now married off, including Adelaide Smith Flo rence Greenhow, and others, who once formed a great attraction at the receptions and balls of Washington- Her father, James Madison Cutts, an officer in one of the departments at Washington, is a nephew of Mrs. President Madison and enjoyed a considerable intimacy with his uncle, in whose family he resided. In politics he is an Old-Line Whig, though not long since he volunteered a communication in the Union testifying to the good opinion which President Madison held of Mr. Buchanan. He is a gentlemanly, quiet man, and much liked in Washington society. As for Mr. Douglas, everybody ought to be familiar with his antecedents and appearance- In point of years he has decidedly the advantage of his bride, being about twice as old. In person he is short and stocky, a short of truncated giant, whence his well known designation. He has a red, somewhat rowdyish face, large features, the nose being rather retrousse, but still with an expression indicating rather a rude, unrefined nature, and an imperious energy, than any settled meanness or malignity of disposition. In truth, I think him a very good natured, pleasant man, individually. He is perfectly willing after abusing, or being abused, in the most violent manner, to extend the right hand of fellowship to his enemy, though his political hostility is unrelenting. He is said to be worth at least 100,000 dollars, the result of fortunate speculation in Chicago lots, aside from the property, mostly in Louisiana plantations. left for his two little boys by his first wife. While at Washington he lives in a handsome, old-fashioned stuccoed house in the outskirts of the city, together with a sister, who, with her husband, superintends his domestic affairs. Whether Mr. Douglas or his fair bride ever have the fortune to chance their residence and dispense the hospitality of the White-horse or not, I wish them both a pleasant honeymoon and a prosperous and unclouded married life.— Washington Evening Post.

SAILING OF AUSTRALIAN SHIPS.—To-morrow, or next day, the " Giptey Bride," one of the noble vessels belong ing to the Liverpool line (Messrs. Magee, Levingaton, and Walthew) g oes into the river, on her third voyage to Aus tralia. Sh e sails towards the eud of the week, and if one may judge of her antecedents, she will make a successful and rapid voyage. She has over 300 passengers, of the most respectable class, and on our inspection of the Ship yesterday, we found nothing left undone to add to the comfort, the convenience, nay, almost the luxury of the peopl e on board. There is a library, a piano, and everything that can add to the comfort of the mind and body. The able com mander of this fine ship, Captain P.
