THE NEW TARIFF.

The House of Representatives on the 25th proceeded to
the consideration of the Senate's amendments to the Tariff
Bill. After acting upon about 50 amendments the bill
was reported to the house at 1 o'clock, pursuant to the
previous order. The house, then, under the operation of
the previous question, proceeded to act on all the amend-
ments. The amendment imposing a duty of 11c. per lb.
on coffee, and on tea 4c., with the addition of an ad
valorem per cent., was rejected by a vote of 32 against 147.
The remainder o the amendments were concurred in and
the bill sent back to the Senate. The bill now only wants
the signature of President Buchanan.
The Evening Post of the 22d says : cc If the Tariff
Bill should pass it is pretty widely suspected that Presi-
dent Lincoln will veto it."
THE NEW LOAN.
Perhaps the best eyidence 0 045;440 Lia the Cielerik•

ment which can be giVen has just been rendered it in New
York. The new sis per -cent. loan of 8000,000 dole. was
offered last week to takers. The whole number of bids
amounted ,te about 14,000,000,, and. the Government get for
the loan about 90 15-100. The North; however, as well as
the South, will be penniless if it goes into a contest ; and
this want,. both North and South, furnishes perhaps the
best hope for peace.

TILE YELVERTON MARRIAGE CASE.

The following letter by the Hon. Mrs. Yelverton
when she discovered the second marriage with Mrs.
Forbes, ,is published in yesterday's _Freeman's
journal:—

" Wednesday, 26th June, 1858.
"My dear sir,—When I visited you in London
I was then in total ignorance of the appalling fate
which has since overtaken me. When I wrote to
you from here I had heard some report of my hus-
band's infidelity. Some hours after your letter was
posted, a friend informed me that the very morn-
ing following my arrival here my husband had been
privately married to a widow of property, and they
were gone off together. I will not here enter into
the horror or the almost death-blow this was to me,
but give you as clearly as I am able a simple narra-
tive of the facts, believing from the kindly interest
you have taken in me that you are entitled to know
theni. The certificate I enclosed to you is a faithful
copy of the one sent me by the priest. I have also
the letter acconipanying it. I telegraphed for my
brother-in-law, Mr. Bellamy, of Abergavenny
Castle. He proceeded to Ireland; found the priest,
who, shocking to relate, refused to recollect, or give
any information.. Bat upon being told that a second
marriage had taken place, he immediately changed
his tone, admitted that my husband had been
to him a day or two • previously, and told
him that I had no friends in England (I am
the niece -of the Countess le Strange), that I
had accepted a' compromise for money, that he
was all-powerful (the very worda), in fact, fright-
ened the priest into secresy, I believe. How-
ever, he cannot get over the fact of the register and
the letter being both signed by him. I presume
this troth we can force him to speak, but there is
another which is of vital importance. According
to the law of Ireland, a marriage by a priest
between two catholics is valid ; but between a pro-
testant and catholic it is not. My husband, I fear,
has no religion whatever, but he led the priest to
suppose he was a catholic, and the legality of my
marriage now all depends whether or no the priest
will consent to recollect this fact, for we have no
writing to prove it. Should he on the other hand
declare that he married a protestant and a catholic
together, he lays himself open to prosecution. My
husband's conduct appears insane, unless he was
aware of some flaw in our Irish marriage. I know
that he was overwhelmed with debts, and that his
affairs had come to a crisis. On the evening of my
arrival, he was with me using alternate threats and
entreatiesto induce me to leave the country. I had
risen from a sick bed, where he supposed me dying.
He wished to take me to Glasgow, to put me on
board a vessel bound for New Zealand, where I had
a brother. He told me that he was a ruined man,-
and that I must leave him to his fate. Afterwards
my husband's brother came to me, and endeavoured
to persuade me to save my husband by leaving the
country ; he also wrote to me several times to this
effect. There is only one opinion here about the
matter, viz., that it is a most infamous plot against
me. I should like to know your idea upon the
subject if you have leisure to consider the' case.
It is throughout so inexplicable to reason and
common sense that, were it not for the
marriage certificate, my friends would imagine that
I .was gone mad on the point.—Believe me, dear
sir,, je
youhn it
yours sincerely

Among the many rumours afloat in regard to
Major Yelverton, the Cork Herald gives currency
to the following : "We are informed that Major
Yelverton was transacting business yesterday in
this city. It is rumoured that both he and Mrs.
(Forbes) Yelverton sailed from Queenstown yester-
day for America."
