SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY.
The steam-ship Fulton, Capt. Wootton, anchored
off Cowes this morning, en route from New York to
Havre. Her advices extend to the Bth inst., being
three days later than those brought by the last

American Ministers to Vienna and Madrid.
Her mails arrived at Southampton at one o'clock,
and were immediately despatched to London by a

special train.
The America and North American had arrived

lutions of respect were adopted, and an ajourn-
ment followed.
•On the 6th, the Leavenworth constitution, re-
cently adopted by a convention of citizens of Kansas,
was presented in the Senate, and referred to the
committee on territories. The bill appropriating
5,000,000 dols. to liquidate claims for French
spoliations was taken up, and Mr. Crittenden made
a long speech in its support, urging the justice of
the claims, and showing how the Government is
pledged for their liquidation. In the house a bill
providing for the territorial Government of Colona,
embracing the newly-discovered gold-producing
region in the north-west, was introduced and
referred. Joint resolutions were reported authoris_
ing the payment of the salaries of our Ministers of
Honduras, Costa Itica, and the Argentine Con-
federation, and• granting our consul at Japan and
his interpreter permission to receive presents from
the British Government.
On the 7th, a resolution was adopted in the
Senate, calling for recent correspondence between
the British Government and the United States
Minister at London, relative to the African slave
trade, especially as regards the yacht Wanderer.
It is said that this correspondence will develop
some startling facts, implicating the American flag
with slave trade operations. Full particulars
respecting the California overland mail contracts
and information as to the ships, officers, and pay of
the navy, were also called for.
The discovery of the gold fields at Pike's Peak,
Cherry Creek, &c., has led to a proposition for the
establishment of an assay office at St. Louis.
The committee on territories have agreed to report
in favour of the organization of territorial govern-
ments in Arizona and Dacotah.

ST Louis, January 7.—Governor Stuart, of this
State, transmitted yesterday to the Senate a special
message, reciting the recent depredations committed
by the Kansas banditti under Montgomery and
Brown, upon our citizens residing in the border
counties, and, asking for legislative action in the
matter. A bill was accordingly immediately re-
ported, which authorised. the Governor to call out a
volunteer force sufficient to protect persons and pro-
perty in peril, and to repel all further attempts at
invasion. The bill appropriates 30,000 dollars to
defray expenses. It will probably pass to-day.
SAVANNAH, Jan. 7.—Mobile papers of Wednes-
day are received. The Mercury contains Captain
Maury's long account of the shipwreck of the
schooner Susan. All the passengers returned.
Tile sales of cotton yesterday (reports the New
York Herald of Jan. Bth) embraced about 1,000
bales. The market closed quietly, while prices
were without quotable change. Lots in transitu
were in steady demand at sustained' prices, while
parcels in ~store were less buoyant. Common
grades of flour were firmer, while extra brands
were steady, and prices sustained, and sales were
moderate. Wheat was steady, and priine firmly
held, while transactions were light. In corn, sales
were moderate, and prices 'unchanged. Pork was
dull, with sales of old mess at 17 dols. 121 c., and
new ditto at 17 dols. 50e., and new prime at 13
dols. 50c. Sugars were firm, but sales were mode-
rate. The sales were confined to about 400 hhds.
Coffee was quiet, but firm. Freight engagements
were quite limited. Some cotton was reported to
Liverpool at Ad., and resin to London at 35., and a
barque was engaged for Cienfuegos and back, to
load with sugar at 38c. There was some inquiry
for vessels to load at southern ports with cottoi for
Europe and coastwise.

DEATII OF TIIE EARL OF CIIARLEVILLE.—We
have to announce the death of this nobleman, which took
place on Thursday night at Charleville Forest, Tullamore,
Ireland. Chas. WM. George Bury, Earl of Charleville,
Viscount Charleville, and 11.aron Tullamore, were his full
titles. The barony was created in 1797, the viscounty in
1800, and the earldom in 1806. The earl just deceased,
however,' Only succeeded to them in 1851, and they will
now descend to Chas. Wm. Francis, born on the 16th May,
1852, who will be the fourth earl. He has a brother, the
Hon. George Wm. Bury, and two sisters, Ladies Catherine
and Harriet Bury, the eldest a year older, and the youngest
a year younger than himself.
A QUAKER MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—An un-
wonted amount of stir was visible on Thursday morning in
the vicinity of the Society or Friends' Meeting-house, Bull-
street, in connection with a marriage which it was known
was about being solemnised. Carriages-and-pair kept dash-
ing up, filled chiefly with young Quakeresses, sisters or
friends of the bride, and so unusual a sight caused the assem-
blage of crowds of persons on either side of the street. The
bridegroom, it turned out, was no other than Mr. Henry
Pease, of Darlington, M.P. for South Durham, and member
of the Society of Friends. The lady he was about to marry
was the eldest daughter of Mr. Samuel Lloyd, of the Old-
park Ironworks, Wednesbury, and therefore connected
closely with one of our most respected local families. The
service commenced at half-past 10 o'clock, by which time
the handsome new meeting-house was well filled, fully one-
half the congregation being evidently strangers. The bridal
party, numbering 10 or 11 couples, sat near the upper end
of the chapel, and the centre of one of the sides of the
square which they formed was occupied by the bride and
bridegroom. Ten or fifteen minutes having been spent in
the silent worship peculiar to the sect, prayer was offered
up by one of four or five gentlemen who occupied a raised
platform. After another interval of deep silence, Mr.
Pease and Miss Lloyd suddenly rose of their own accord,
and having clasped each other's right hand, the former
said in a distinct voiC6, " Friends, I take this my friend,
Mary Lloyd, junior, to be my
faith,u
wife, promising, ynrough
Divine assistance, to be unto her ,
byaff death to
separatehusbtuidus2, till i
"Friendts Lloyd,halil,Lupyleaseth 1 and
repeated this vow and covenant in more subdued tones, and
then she and her husband resumed their seats. Five mi-
nutes' silence, an appropriate discourse by a brother of the
bridegroom, another interval of quietness, another brief
sermon, and then one of the office 'bearers of the society
stepped forward witli a parchment, the contents of which
he read. This document recited that Henry Pease and
Mary Lloyd, junior, having declared their intention to take
each other in marriage before the respective monthly meet-
ings_ of the Society of Friends commonly called Quakers,
and having the consent of the said meetings, and of parents,
&c., had appeared there that morning and taken the above
given mow. Mr. and Mrs. Pease then signed this instru-
ment, as did also Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd, Mr. and Mrs. John
Pease, and others. This done, the ceremony was at an end.
