TORNADO AT NIAGARA.—A. correspondent, writing from
Clifton (Suspension Bridge), under date of Dec. 15, 1850,
says :—" We have just experienced one of the most terrific
gales within the memory of that most distinguished indi-
vidual the oldest inhabitant.' Trees have been torn up,
small tenements, shanties and outbuildings, overturned,
and their fragments strewn over the fields in every direc-
tion. The volume of water driven over the falls of Niagara
Was truly appaling, carrying with it driftwood, logs and
timbers from the deluged wharves and shores above. The
Suspension Bridge was considered in great danger. The
toll gates were for a time deserted, and many an anxious
eye tremblingly awaited the destruction of this magnifi-
cent structure. But the winds blew in vain ; the hurricane
in all its terrible fury swept by, leaving the airy edifice
unscathed, adding another laurel to the triumphant genius
of the architect

THEATRICALS IN SPAIN.—A letter from Madrid, of the
7th, 'says :—"Lait evening the Queen was present at the
representation of Don Pasquale, at the Theatre Royal. She
had on her right the Dowager Duchess d'Alba, and in
front the King, who• appeared extremely ennuyed. The
management wished to wait the arrival of the royal party
before raising the curtain, but the public had not the
patience. When the Queen entered, every one, with the
exception of a :little knot of persons, remained seated.
The piece was applauded with much enthusiasm, in spite
of the rules which prohibit such manifestations in her
Majesty's presence."

MARRIAGE or GUIZOT.—From a private source we learn
that the celebrated Guizot has finally married the Princess
L'even, a lady not less celebrated in diplomatic and social
circles. It is stated that the affair is kept a secret, or
rather that it is a public mystery. The Princess still
wears her former name, and the happy couple do not live
under the same roof. Should this be really so, we are
wholly at a loss to understand the reasons, and our con.
sideration for the character of-Guizot must sink consider-
ably. Guizot is nearly seventy years old, and his lady-
love is but a few years younger. The friendship commenced
bet Ween them in 1840, when Guizot was the French
Ambassador at London, and while the Princess, once the
celebrated beauty of the Congress of Vienna, and for
eighteen years the acknowledged leader of the highest haut
ton in England, was residing there with her husband, then
Russian Ambassador at, the Court of St. James. After the
death of the Prince she endeavoured to be the diplomatic
Egeria'of the Czar, although she still continued to reside
in Paris or London. The medium of this correspondence
between her and Nicholas was her brother, Count Benken.
dorffohe predecessor of Count Orloff in the Emperor's
confidence and favour. Since the death of the Count, in
1844, her real influence at the Russian Court has been on
the wane; her influence, hovvever, with Glizot and Lou:s
Phillipe rather increased, they believing Ora through her
tlry might get a controlling hold on the Cz sr. Her salon
at Paris has been most brilliant and renowned—the focus
of all Europe for diplomatic scandal and petty intrigues.

According to the statement of the Weshitis
correspondent of the New York Tribune,
Buchanan!s programme for a Cabinet has °
altered in some important respects, and it
said that the change was materially produced
the influences which operated upon him real
in Philadelphia. The following cast of the
administration is reported to stand thus :
Secretary of State Lewis' Cass.
Secretary of Treasury Howell Cobb.
Secretary of the Interior Jesse D. Bright;
Secretary of War
Secretary of the Navy ...J. P. Benjamin.

With regard to the above, we are informed
the last four names were not specifically desig.,o4
in the order which they occupy, because sfvfeB
them are in doubt, and transpositions may bee°
necessary. It is worthy of remark, that is 0,
foregoing list there are four Southern men%o
one of whom is regarded as a " representst!
man of Southern opinion. They fulfil the ,101
announced by Mr. Buchanan, of a ° tJnii
Cabinet, as opposed to one containing secession
like Jefferson Davis.
The Nay York Herald says :

they have made, that within another week or tell d 1110

Va., and Governor Cobb, of- Ga. ; and with regard 0,1
other four, there is rot half that cmfusion of cross
which prevailed for the first three weeks after the elect':

The same makes the following allusion t°
former of the foregoing names:—
We have no doubt that General Cass has been P'

we shall have aseertained whether he hails from Miasissl,
New York, or the Pacific railroad, we presume his a

us that the Money Market in that city was ster;
that high rates of interest were charged for it'ci

Cotton was in steady request, and prices 0
sustained. No improvement had taken

From Philadelphia we have the foll°4/1"
report►
There is little or no Quercitron bark offering, and lot'
lis held at an advance on previous sales. In cotton
is very little movement today owing to the firrnorr..di,
holders, and only about 200 bales changed hands at
fall rates. There is more inquiry for cloverseed, slidm

Among the general topics of the day now eligsj
ing public. attention, is the Income tax: .Thetiof
tation Viereon has taken a new shape. At a tneerfi
which has been held in the London TaTeje;
was- resolved to oppose the tax altogether
applied to incomes of £l5O a year, and to ing"ifil
of less than that amount. The design is 0... iv,
relief to those classes whose incomes are
p
and precarious. and who cannot well afford N"
a rent to Government every half year. A reg
,
tion was adopted at the same meeting againrd:
arbitrary way in which Income tax Commissle
are instructed to proceed in eases of appeal lir
may further observe that Sir John Pakingfooofir
delivered .iv.speech on the subject. Without ~
mating himself to any specific course of acti,e„gtel/
the next Session of Parliament, Sir John Pakwieftl
indicated a strong opposition to these Ba's
quarrels.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING,

Telegraphic intelligence received in Paris this
'afternoon, gives some account of what has been
passing at Berne this morning. The Committees
,of the Council of the States and of the National
'Council, which was charged to take into considera
lion the government propositions, have both report-
€d in favour of them, the Council of States commis-
sio. a unanimously, and that of the National Council,
with one dissentient voice only. It was expected
that the National Assembly would give their sanction
to the measure in the course of the afternoon. A
despatch of Count Walewski's, bearing the recent
d ite of January 5, contains the following passage:
--" France engages as soon as the prisoners shall
have been set at liberty to use all her efforts to
bring about an arrangement, conformable to the
wishes of Switzerland, by which the complete
independence of the ancient principality shall be
assured, the King of Prussia renouncing the
rights attributed to him by the treaties of 1815."
It is very remarkable that this despatch of
Count Walewski's is dated the s:h, the very
day after the Swiss Ministers, Colonel Barmann
tThd M. Kern, had an interview with the Fin-
Peror at the Tuileries. This was the interview
NyiliCh M. Kern represents at Berne as having
1,,;31:t b
I_,.lelitnl:st satisfactory, and having convinced him
proposed arrangement contained nothing
eqmpatible with the honour of Switzerland. It
IS, perhaps, fortunate that the Federal Assembly
Will have settled the question before they can have
seen the articles in the French semi-officialjournals
of Yesterday. If, contrary to all expectation, the vote
Bhould be postponed another day, it is very possible
that t'le Assembly may hesitate when it finds the
Constitutional, Pays, and Patrie, all instructed to
represent that Switzerland is simply and purely to
I•Olease the prisoners without conditions. It is
(?rident that Switzerland is not about to release
'the prisoners " spontaneeusly and out of respect.
for the rights of the King of Prussia," as the Gort-
f'hakoff' circular phrases it; but, on the contrary,
le, exchange for a formal engagement on the part
![ Prance to do her utmost to obtain the renunci-
;ion of those rights. If the King of Prussia should
be se ill advised as to hold out, his royalist friends
ieivain who by the agreement are to be banished, would
in exile, and Switzerland would remain de,facto in
possession of Neufchatel, while the King
Prussia would have acquired the certainty that
all the Powers of Europe were committed not to
ppnrt his pretensions.
you are I believe aware, although there have
.tteen many contradictory statements on the sub-
ject, that the Grand Duke Constantine of Russia
will certainly pay a visit to the Tuileries in the
latter part of this month. It is not, I believe
generally known that the Grand Duke Michael,
Who is now at Turin, will be here also, He is ex-
pected in Paris in about a week.
The manifest tendency of the Paris Bourse to rise
has been repressed all the week by the heaviness
ftttheresLe?vgnidnon Consol market. To-day the London
rather more fanourable accounts, the
'"ente opened with some briskness, and advanced
as much as 20e in the course of the day. The
rise,
however, was not maintained, although it was
thought to be certain that the French proposals
had been definitively accepted at Berne. The
--tente closed for cash at 67f 75c, with a fall of 10c,
d at yesterday's price • , 67f 90c, for account.
Mobilier-rose 2f 50e. Most of the railways left
'ofr_ without any great change, and business was
I.alrn at the close. Many people persisted that the
Fusion of the Orleans and Grand Central was not
yet definitive, the latter company standing out for
a delay of two years only, instead of the five which
l
Orleans directors propose.
It was reported that the electric telegraph cable
between Dover and Calais will be repaired in a few
.;days, and that regular communication will take
v.aee as heretofore at the beginning of next week.
ihe Droit says that Verger, finding that he can-
ilot complete the preparation of his defence by the
17th, the day fixed for his trial, has intimated that,
.;
4" order to obtain a prolongation of time, he will,
most prabably, appeal against the judgment of the
Chamber deg Mises en Accusation, by which he has
"i,een ordered for trial. " If," adds the Droit, "he
s•"'uld persist in this intention, his trial will be
Postponed till nearly the end of the peesent
month."
; " The Count de Chambord," says a Paris letter
•11 the Independanee of Brussels, " has addressed
a circular to the legitimists, in which he formally
calls on them to abstain from voting at the
',' Poaching,PP elections." This letter has, in fact,
uee
sent, but a great many legitimists do not
''eod to obey the injunctions of their chief.
'NI de Bourbolon, French Minister to China, who
wes in •
Paris on leave of absence, has left for his
Post.
1, A, a investiture of the Order of the Bath is to be
hr at the British embassy on Saturday. The.,
officers designed for this honour, and who
tir'e not yet received it, will be then invested with
Yriollll;sigjlia• After the ceremony, a grani dinner
be given at the embassy.
